KILLIE keeper Bell is bound for Ibrox in the summer and Goram reckons he has all the attributes to be a success once he learns to handle the pressure.

RANGERS legend Andy Goram last night backed Cammy Bell to be a huge success at Ibrox – when he gets used to making just one save a game.

Kilmarnock’s No.1 is Ibrox bound in the summer and nine-in-a-row hero Goram thinks Bell will learn to handle
the pressure of being a Rangers player, just as he had to after signing
from Hibs in 1991.

Goram said: “Cammy will be in the same situation I was when I was at Hibs – when you’re playing for other teams you’re making eight or nine saves a game. If you make a mistake, it’s covered up by the saves you pull off because you’ve kept them in it.

“When you come to Rangers it’s the other way, you tend to get one save a game but if you don’t make it you’re panned.

“So
that will be the difference for Cammy. From what I’ve seen he’s got everything. He’s agile, he’s a good build for a goalkeeper, he’s decent with the ball at his feet, he makes a save to get you off your seat, he’s capable of that magic stop.

“So I’ve not got a problem with Cammy Bell coming.

“But it can be difficult. In my first
month, I basically put us out of the European Cup against Sparta Prague, put us out of the League Cup semi-final against Hibs and then had a
nightmare against Hearts when Scott Crabbe scored a 50-yarder at Tynecastle.

“Taking over from Chris Woods wasn’t easy, that’s why I’ve all the admiration in the world for Stefan Klos when he came in after me. I understood the problems he was going to have
because I was a fans’ favourite and he had to win them over, which he did.

“It wasn’t easy for me
taking over from Chris. It’s not easy playing for the Old Firm, Celtic or Rangers, you’ve got to be a different animal to play for them.

“I’m
glad my mistakes came early doors. The gaffer got me in the office and spelt out what it means, what he’s expecting and the expectations of everybody else at the club. John Greig was another one who pulled me aside in the corridor one day after the three mistakes and passed on words of advice.

“I’m glad it happened at the start of my career and not towards the end of it because after that first month everything was fine.”

Goram
is pleased to offer Bell advice – just as he himself received words of wisdom from an unexpected source when he was struggling at the start of his Ibrox career.

He said: “Packie Bonner was different class with me. It was after my first Old Firm game when I’d had my bad start.

“In those days you had the Players’ Lounge where all the boys mingled. Packie pulled me aside, told me not to do any Press and that I had to get my head down and work hard.

“He said if I did that, I’d be fine. When I brought my video out, Packie did an interview and said it was words of advice he thought I needed. But then he said he wished he’d never spoken to me.

“I
met Packie at a dinner last week and he’s a great man. He was probably too great in that respect as I don’t think too many would give out advice to their opposite number in the Old Firm.

“As for Cammy, it will
be more difficult for him because he now has to come in and make that one save. That will be the biggest transition – concentration. But that’s what separates the good from the great.

“It’s the perfect opportunity for Cammy to come to Rangers and play in front of 50,000 every week.

“If he’s not looking forward to that, he’s as well chucking it.

“I’m looking forward to seeing him at
Rangers. I don’t know him, I’ve never met him but everybody I speak to says he’s a great character.

“Cammy has been great against the Old Firm and that was the same as me when I was at Hibs.

“The
difference for him now is that he won’t be getting any man of the match
awards – because hopefully he won’t have too much to do.”
